A category for OoT where you get all the Medallions, Spiritual Stones, and do all of the Trials in Ganon's Castle. It was by far the most popular category until the wrong warp stuff was discovered. Since then it's been split into two categories (wrong warp and no wrong warp) and lost popularity (along with the game as a whole, somewhat).

It was full of really cool tricks and showed off basically everything interesting about the game.

yo thanks

I saw a few minutes of the Momodora run while it was live and turned it off to go and buy the game myself. Just finished off a normal runthrough and that's a fine game. I then went back and watched the full run.

Shout outs to Halfcoordinated for introducing me to a cool game and being a cool dude.

Yeah sorry I asked I should have prolly been able to guess the issue but part of me was hoping it was just an outplayed meme.

It seems like if you are trans you are instantly hated by the majority of twitch chat because twitch chat is a hell hole. If you are a former runner that people like it seems like they hate you even more so because people are terrible.

nah being trans just makes you instantly hated by the majority of people anyway

For the most part it involves stuff that is just using standard gameplay mechanics in an advantageous way, stuff like using the knockback from bombs to boost you forward or just making frame perfect jumps/rolls to circumvent puzzles that you were supposed to do.

It seems to also include minor glitches that only save a bit of a time or would not be relevant in a full glitch run. So stuff like bombboosting across the map isn't okay but spamming pause to to make a bomb explode earlier than it should for a bomb jump that's only used in a dungeon you would normally skip is okay. So basically no clipping or warping.

Pikmin and Trauma Center might be interesting too. Tasbot will be okay. Don't care about the rest.

This entire SGQ has been rather meh for me. I remember being super excited that I actually remembered that it statted on the day it started. Looked at the list, and I went from :haw: to :geno: the lower I went and the longer it'd be until things I'd actually care about seeing.

Every run from here until the end of the marathon is a must-watch for me, so

The lunacy of Pepsiman was truly the perfect followup to the sheer intensity of Mario Maker.

Trials Fusion was pretty bad. Not for the same reasons as Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, though.
